I hold a Master’s Degree in Education (M.Ed.) and am a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) with over 30 years of experience working with children in education. I am trained and certified in evidence-based reading instruction and specialize in helping students with dyslexia, reading difficulties, and foundational literacy needs through structured literacy approaches, including the Wilson Language Training Wilson Reading System®.
Throughout my career, I have worked with students in both classroom and one-on-one settings, including general education, intervention support, and individualized tutoring. I have experience teaching elementary and middle school students, with a strong focus on early literacy, phonics, fluency, comprehension, spelling, and writing skills. I have also worked extensively with English Language Learners (ELL students) and understand the importance of adapting instruction to support language development, vocabulary growth, and reading comprehension.
My tutoring approach is patient, supportive, and highly structured. I use multisensory, explicit instruction methods that break skills into manageable steps while building confidence and independence. I believe students learn best when instruction is engaging, encouraging, and tailored to their individual strengths and challenges.
In addition to literacy instruction, I have experience supporting students in foundational math skills, study skills, and academic organization. My goal is to help every student feel successful, capable, and motivated to learn.
